Hawaii Update

Hello Everyone! I thought it was about time to share some of Hawaii with you. As most of you already know we went on a 10-day Hawaiian cruise this month. We spent 5 of those days at sea and the other 5 in Hawaii. The cruise was a good way to see different islands in Hawaii and find the places we liked the best. In all we went to three of the islands (The Big Island, Maui and Oahu). On the big island we went to Hilo and Kona. Hilo was great to see the Volcano National Park, the rain forest, black sand beaches, and waterfalls. Hilo however was very rainy and not a great place for the beaches. Kona was great for the beaches and had a wonderful brewery that served excellent food and had awesome beer!

We ended in Oahu (Honolulu) and it was fun seeing the city, Waikīkī Beach and Pearl Harbor. However our favorite Island and the one we will be most likely returning to next summer in Maui.

In Maui we loved the beaches. It had excellent snorkeling with huge sea turtles. The city of Lahaina was awesome. My dad, brother and I went fishing one day while Christina, Natalie and my mom went to the aquarium. Overall we saw very little of Maui, but really loved what we did see and want to go back to explore more soon.

Below are some pictures from the trip. Who is ready to go back with us next year???

Chicago Post Part 3

Hey Everyone. We went on Vacation to Hawaii this month so the posts haven't been happening lately. However, I'm going to try to post a lot more often now. I have to finish the Chicago Posts and then move onto Hawaii. Maybe Christina will even help me post every now and then :)

Well, after a few days of sight seeing we actually made it to the wedding and got to spend time with Doug and Courtney. Their wedding was awesome and I've posted a few pictures below.

We ended up staying two more days after the wedding and went on a boat tour of the city which was awesome. We also got to see Second City Improv Comedy, which is where a lot of famous SNL Alumni got their start. Finally we even made it to the Field Museum and did a little shopping before leaving.

Stay tuned for some Hawaii posts soon and then...just fun life photo's :) Talk to you all soon! -Bryan
